A large truck was moving through a railway underpass when it got wedged between the road and the girders overhead. All the efforts of the experts to extricate it proved useless and the traffic was stalled for miles on both sides of the underpass.
A little boy was trying to get the attention of the foreman but was always pushed away. Finally, in sheer exasperation, the foreman said, "I suppose you have come to tell us how to do this job?"
"Yes," said the kid, "I suggest you let some air out of the tires"

A man once read in an ancient book about a black stone on the shores of the Black Sea , which could on contact turn any metal into gold. The stone would be warm to the touch. So he went to the Black Sea and found there a heap of black stones. He was convinced one of these would be the miracle stone.
He picked up a stone, felt it on his cheek, found it cold, and flung it into the sea. The second stone too was cold and followed the first one into the sea. He did this from morning to evening, every day for weeks, months, and then years. Three years passed. One day he put a stone to his cheek, threw it into the sea and then realized that was the stone he was looking for!

The conclusions from past experiences many times may completely mask the ability to tap common sense.
